Lucinda Holman IBCLC – Birth Doula, Lactation Consultant, HypnoBirthing Practitioner

The initiation from maiden to mother is an important rite of passage and one made more confidently with love, care and skilled support.

 I'm Lucinda, mum, wife, Doula, Lactation Consultant and HypnoBirthing Practitioner.

I’ve been working with new families in Dorset for over 15 years, helping to ease the transition into the wonderful (and often daunting) world of parenting, as gently and holistically as possible.
This work is my calling and gives me immense joy to be of service in this way.

This is your birth and your baby and your needs and wishes are what’s important. Exploring your options with evidence-based information, can really help you make choices that feel right for you. 

Learning HypnoBirthing during Pregnancy prepares you for birthing in a calm, relaxed way and can be a great tool for those early postpartum weeks.

As your birth doula, my job is to be alongside you during your pregnancy, prepare you for breastfeeding, support you emotionally, physically and spiritually as needed, and be a trusted support, beside you for your birth and that precious time just after birth to help get the breastfeeding off to a solid start. 

My lactation consultant qualification means I will help you to meet your breastfeeding goals; be it one hour, one day or one year.
You will have access to the gold standard in breastfeeding support with the most up to date specialist knowledge and practical tips and techniques honed from years of service.
If there are feeding issues, I aim to get to the heart of them quickly, by identifying any underlying issues and putting steps in place to manage and then resolve those issues in a timely manner.

My offerings:
• Comprehensive Birth, Breastfeeding and HypnoBirthing preparation sessions
• Birth Doula, supporting you in labor and birth
• In home Lactation Consultations
• Joint Baby Clinics with Cranial Chiropractor Anneli Hulkkonen at Back in Balance, Wimborne

I will surround you and support you with love, care and integrity at this very transformative time.

Please get in touch if you’d like to explore working together.

Warmest regards,

Lucinda x
